I have just returned from the Living Dharma retreat at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre. I had the opportunity to have a student interview with Richard Shankman. I have been a meditation student for 16 years but my meditation has never been very concentrated. I joke with my friends calling it “thinkatation” or “napatation”. After a brief interview with Richard and some pointers on things to try in my meditation, I feel like my practice has blossomed. I am feeling deep gratitude to Richard. Sending love and gratitude to you Richard! Check out his book to deepen your meditation practice...
